Captain CTMI

Last year, the TDSB went through with this CTMI (Classrom Technology Migration Initiative) thing. The end result was that they wasted our time, rendering the computers useless for two months, and they wasted our money, replacing computers which were running Windows 2000 with better computers so they could migrate to… Windows 2000? Keep in mind that this incredible effort to upgrade our technology upgraded it so well that we were now using an Operating System that was five years old.

But that’s old news. What I wanted to point out was that in the lab by the special ed classes, there’s this poster of CAPTAIN CTMI. I found this ugly poster absolutely hilarious. It was completely retarded. Apparently, spending money wisely is completely out of the question for the TDSB, so they had figure out the fastest way to burn the cash in their pocket. They came up with a character for their computer upgrade and print posters for him.

Captain CTMI is like an ugly Viewtiful Joe and is less fun. They couldn’t even come up with a cool name for him. I mean, Ctmi is unpronounceable and if you try to sound it out (cut-me) it’s still retarded. Not only did they not come up with a name, they didn’t even try to make CTMI expand into anything interesting. So he’s “Captain Classroom Technology Migration Initiative”? I wouldn’t have any second thoughts about committing any villainous acts if that’s the name of the guy trying to stop me.

Thank God I’m leaving the TDSB.

The TDSB Bloody Sucks 2

Outside of West Hill, as you drive up and enter the parking lot, you’ll notice a sign that says “Facility Renewal Project” and it’s by the TDSB and something about investing in childrens’ futures. When we all noticed it, I’m sure we all thought “About frigging time.” I swear, the place is falling apart. The futile attempts at making the place look better last year failed. Nothing looks uniform, there are nasty brown patches everywhere, and there were holes or things crumbling all over the place. Continue reading
